I had a headache tonight when I came home from a date with my husband. I don't get headaches very often, but when I do, they're bad.

Took some codeine. BIG mistake..

I didn't think my stomach was empty. We'd eaten out, and I took the pill with some milk. Apparently, my stomach was empty and this is not a good thing with codeine.

I am currently sitting on the sofa feeling lightheaded, sweating, with a pain in my stomach that is as bad as anything I had when I had gallstones. OMG!

On the plus side, my headache is gone.

I don't know what's worst, the HA pain or the nausea, sweats, etc. Hope it passes soon. :)

I think I'm going to live. ;) What an awful night!

If it hadn't been for the info posted on VST, I would have gone to the hospital, thinking terrifying things about the integrity of the sleeve. Going to the hospital can be a bit of a nightmare all on its own, so I'm glad it wasn't necessary.

Note to self... "The doctor gave you liquid paracetamol for reason. Duh." (Oh, to have remembered that before scarfing down a TEC3.) *sigh*

Thanks for the empathy. :)

CE

I hope you're feeling better. Codeine is not my friend either. I don't know how people get hooked to that stuff, it made me so, so ill.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
